Adventure Pass temporarily shut down in 2025

Due to software issues affecting all libraries using the service, the Iowa Adventure Pass program will temporarily shut down in 2025. Any reservation already made for 2025 will be honored, but we encourage anyone with a current reservation to print those passes immediately. Customers can still make new reservations for passes that must be used by December 31, 2024. The service will return at a later time. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Program Description

Event Details

Dungeons & Dragons is a role-playing game set in worlds of swords and sorcery where players use their imaginations to tell a story and create an adventure together.  We usually get together on the third Thursday of each month to play, but please verify dates on the library website.

New players are welcome!  If this is your first game, we can provide a pre-generated character for you to use.  Or you can create a 1st level 5E character and bring that with you.  Note that you do not have to commit to playing multiple games.  This program is designed as a "series of one-shots".  Players can drop in and out whenever they want.

We are always looking for more Dungeon Masters. If you would like to volunteer, please contact Dennis.

Although Dungeons & Dragons is recommended for ages 12 and up, this program is geared for adults.
